Prince Soren of Daein lives in a villa alongside his mother, Almedha. He maintains a close friendship with Ike, the son of the guard captain at the villa, and Ike's sister and father. Soren has everything he could ever want... Until his father, King Ashnard, decides to start a war. Ashnard demands that Soren act as a strategist for an invasion of Crimea, and Almedha is captured as Soren flees with Ike, Mist, and Gawain to escape the Mad King. When they arrive in the nation of Gallia, they realize that Daein is not the only country hiding a secret heir. Elincia, the orphaned princess of Crimea, also plans to mount a counterattack against Ashnard. Seeing an opportunity, Ike and Soren join the Crimean liberation to defeat Ashnard... But since they opt to keep their true identities a secret, the battle against Daein promises to be much harder than anticipated. Together, the prince and retainer prepare to dethrone Ashnard and bring peace to the continent of Tellius no matter what it takes.

And so, radiance reverses.

(Path of Radiance retelling with Soren as the prince of Daein, Ike as his retainer, and a war for them to end together.) ***

Ike, leading an attack on Gritnea Tower to rescue Princess Leanne, gets more than he bargained for. The discovery of Izuka’s laboratory is bad enough. But none of them expect a second discovery - a boy locked away in an hidden cell: unconscious, near death, bearing a strange mark on his forehead.

Soren has never known freedom. But he has known purpose. Raised as a living weapon, he owes his life to Daein, and his strength to Izuka. When he finds himself in the hands of Crimean insurgents, he sees an opportunity to prove himself. But the kindness of the Crimean general threatens to call everything he knows into question. ***

Rajaion snapped at Ike, teeth gleaming in the gloom. Ike evaded him, quickly stepping back, but Soren saw the way his hand twitched towards the hilt of his sword.

Rajaion snarled, and Soren could see him readying to snap again.

Soren pulled his gigantic head down towards him. Rajaion obeyed with an air of long suffering; they both knew Soren could not physically move him unless he allowed himself to be moved.

“Don’t be rude,” Soren said, petting a hand down his snout. “He’s my…” he glanced at Ike and felt his cheeks heat. “He’s my friend.”

--

In a world without Lehran's medallion, Prince Soren of Daein grows up with only two companions: Ike, son of the famed General Gawain, and the mad wyvern Rajaion. ***

Ike expected his final two years of high school to go by smoothly, even with the truck his father expected him to repair. But when a familiar stranger returns to his life, Ike has to ask: why doesn't he remember his best friend or his mother? And why are their memories so linked in his head?

Written for the IkeSoren Big Bang, with art by master-of-winds. Title from "Midwest Indigo" by twenty one pilots. ***

Words: 43850 Rated: Explicit

Soren, who never knew his parents, discovers one fateful day that he is the son of the Duke of Daein - and that the duke is dead. The title belongs to Soren now.

This revelation thrusts Soren into the world of the aristocracy, and what seems at first to be nothing more than high society being unwelcoming soon turns out to be something far more dangerous. But Soren isn’t sure he even wants the title - especially not when it means he won’t be able to stay with Ike anymore.

Ike, meanwhile, must attempt to protect his friend while also grappling with his own feelings, feelings that have moved beyond friendship. But with Soren a duke and him nothing but a commoner, is there any possible future for them? And if there is, will they both survive to see it? ***

Twenty-three year old Soren has claimed his rightful place as Prince Daein. For years, he has been plotting against the Mad King Ashnard. Among his allies: Lady Almedha, vindictive mistress of Ashnard, Lanvega, Lord of Marado, and General Ike, rider of Daein, the latter of which proves to be the biggest thorn in Ashnard’s side. In order to break their alliance, Ashnard proposes a political marriage between Elincia and Ike, assured that he could easily manipulate the newly crowned queen to his side. ***

Thousands of years following the end of the Age of Radiance, a boy is born with the unique ability to remember his past life. Soren, who was long ago a great archsage and beloved husband to the Radiant Hero Ike, yearns to be reunited with him once more. Yet, when their paths finally cross again in a dingy Melior apartment building, Ike has no recollections at all of Soren or the life they shared.

Faced with an ironic echo of his ancient past, Soren must come to terms with the fact that the man he has loved for two lifetimes is nothing more than a stranger living in the unit next door.

The Rustling Scent of a World Unseen Written by @admirableadmiranda [ao3] Art by @shiny-swablu-love [bluesky] and art by @larachelledrawsfe [bluesky]

Words: 73,416 Rated: Explicit

One day while on his way home from kendo class, Ike followed a strange crow straight into another world, where he has no knowledge of where he is or how to return home. The only person he can rely on is the mysterious yet kind boy with dark hair and red eyes who he met in the depths of the Gallian Forest. Together, they’ll come to trust and care for one another along the way, especially once it becomes clear that both of them are much more deeply entangled in the fate of Tellius than they’d ever expected.

A fusion with an old shojo manga from the nineties, Ike must navigate his way through a world where he does not know the language and the very fact that he is from another world puts him in danger. Between the prejudices of Tellius and the mysterious prophecy surrounding him and Soren, it will be up to the two of them to find a way for Ike to return home once more. ***

“This is my father’s most shameful secret. It is the reason I must cover my forehead at all times, and the reason my mother has been locked away, confined to the West Tower of the castle since the day I was born. She’s not bedridden with illness, like my father would like you to believe. She was once a powerful laguz, a dragon with powers beyond imagination.”

Soren brushed his hair away from his face.

“My father values strength above all else. That’s what drew him to my mother. When she became pregnant, he imagined a child with her raw, unfiltered power, contained in the vessel of a child that he could mold in his own image, that he could control with absolute certainty. I am nothing more than a tool, a pawn.”

-8-

What if Soren had not been abandoned as a child, but instead been raised as the Prince of Daein? What if Lillia never made it to Palmeni temple alive, and had never been given Lehran's Medallion? What if...? In an alternate universe, similar to the one we know, and yet altogether different, what would the lives of all these people look like? How would the Mad King's war have played out? Allow me to explore but one of the infinite possibilities... ***

Spruce Point - the Americana roller coaster capital of the world - is not just home to the tallest, fastest record breakers ever made, but also the lucky ducky destination for Ike's family vacation. But after a teeny, tiny scuffle with some rich kid, he found himself at the ass-end of 100 hours of community service as a wandering park magician.

For Soren, an accomplished, young manager for Centurial Force, the world wouldn't sway one way or the other on the arrival of his new criminal roommate, regardless of his bewitching handsomeness, considerate personality, or charming smile... No, the world wouldn't sway at all... ***

Sea Song Written by @imissthefire [bluesky] Art by @nyapoui [bluesky] and art by @ciarre [bluesky]

When Soren is abandoned at sea, he's fighting the will of the water, struggling to keep himself going. His life has never been perfect--far from it, in fact--and he's forced to reflect on whether or not it's worth fighting for. He's never fit in on the land, and it's becoming harder to keep himself afloat. Resigned to his fate, everything changes when he's approached by a curious merfolk named Ike, who is determined to help him out. The more time Soren spends with him, the more he's forced to rethink his worldview, and the more he finds himself growing fond of the boy. Their bond deepens, and their feelings for one another do as well. But they're from different worlds, how can these feelings ever be realised? ***

On the surface, Soren is an average college student. At his part-time job, he becomes the tacky motorcycle-wearing menace: Rune Ruby! Under his mad father's commands, he sends out a new cosmical monster every week for his father's one goal: CHAOS! However, where there is evil, a hero rises! And that happens to be...Ike? His childhood friend? Will both men face each other in battle? Or will friendships be burned? Or will the two of them keep...secret journals? ***

"Hey… you know I'm kinda lacking on my extracurriculars… What if we started a D&D club at school?"

When he was six years old, Ike rescued a starving little boy all alone in a park. Ten years later, he attempts to kindle their connection by starting a D&D club together. But Soren's mysterious past lingers in the background, and Ike might not be enough to keep it from coming back to haunt him. ***

Almedha eyed the mencenary warily. Would this young and rather inexperienced ruffian really be able to guide her and precious son to the safety of Gallia?

Good evening bitches, bros and non binary hoes! The @ikesorenbigbang is finally underway!

To be honest, I didn’t think I would make it back in February (I broke my ankle and was in the hospital for most of the month). Luckily, I had great partners for this event ^^.

@admirableadmiranda really hit a home run with her fic. The Rustling Scent of a World Unseen mixes elements of action, adventure and romance spun into so many moving and fun scenes, I almost couldn’t pick which scenes to rep.

Here’s to you, Addie, for actually crushing it. I loved working with you on this. Cheers, my friend!

And check out @larachelledrawsfe ‘s works for the same fic on her page: https://larachelledrawsfe.tumblr.com/

I appreciated your words of encouragement and am in awe of your talents always, Larachelle!

Happy 20th anniversary to Path of Radiance ^_^

And now! The main event!

The Past is No Further Away than the Last Breath You Took by Kami

[ikesorenbigbang]

My third piece for the @ikesorenbigbang! For the fic The Past Is No Further Away From The Last Step You Took by holy_kami. A reincarnation AU in which Soren remembers his past life with Ike only to meet an Ike who doesn't, but feels pulled toward him all the same.

This is such a lovely fic, I enjoyed working with the author so much. Please give it a read!!

Summary on AO3:

Thousands of years following the end of the Age of Radiance, a boy is born with the unique ability to remember his past life. Soren, who was long ago a great archsage and beloved husband to the Radiant Hero Ike, yearns to be reunited with him once more. Yet, when their paths finally cross again in a dingy Melior apartment building, Ike has no recollections at all of Soren or the life they shared. Faced with an ironic echo of his ancient past, Soren must come to terms with the fact that the man he has loved for two lifetimes is nothing more than a stranger living in the unit next door.

A second piece for the @ikesorenbigbang, for A Lord's Tangled Web by asael! A regency AU where Soren and Ike's are thrown into a whirlwind by the sudden revelation that Soren is the late duke's son!

I loved working in this project, both my partners in it were absolute sweethearts. I hope the fic and art by my fellow artist get a lot of love!!

Summary on AO3:

Soren, who never knew his parents, discovers one fateful day that he is the son of the Duke of Daein - and that the duke is dead. The title belongs to Soren now. This revelation thrusts Soren into the world of the aristocracy, and what seems at first to be nothing more than high society being unwelcoming soon turns out to be something far more dangerous. But Soren isn’t sure he even wants the title - especially not when it means he won’t be able to stay with Ike anymore. Ike, meanwhile, must attempt to protect his friend while also grappling with his own feelings, feelings that have moved beyond friendship. But with Soren a duke and him nothing but a commoner, is there any possible future for them? And if there is, will they both survive to see it?
